Fuck with all that, we've got to get on with these
(Fuck all that, fuck all that)
Gotta compete with the wily Japanese
There's too many home fires burning and not enough trees
(Fuck all that)
So fuck with all that, we've go to get on with these
(Got to get on with these)

Not now John, we've got to get on with the film show
(Got to get on, got to get on)
Hollywood waits at the end of the rainbow
(End of the rainbow)
Who cares what it's about as long as the kids go
(As long as the kids go)
So not now John, we've got to get on with the show
(Got to get on, got to get on)

(Oooh)
(Ohhh, got to get on, got to get on, got to get on)

Hang on John, I've got to get on with this
(Got to get on, got to get on)
Don't know what it is, but it fits on here like s-s-s
Come at the end of the shift, we'll go and get pissed
But not now John, I got to get on with this
(Got to get on with this, got to get on)

(Ooh, la, la)
Hold on John, I think there's something good on
I used to read books but
(Ooh, la, la)
It could be the news or some other amusement
Could be reusable shows

Fuck all that, we've got to get on with these
{Go on}
Got to compete with the wily Japanese
(Got to get on, got to get on)
{Come here, come out and kill me!}
No need to worry about the Vietnamese
{Ha, ha, ha}
Got to bring the Russian bear to its knees
(Got to get on)
Well, maybe not the Russian bear
Maybe the Swedes
We showed Argentina
Now let's go and show these
(Got to get on, got to get on)
Makes feel tough
And wouldn't Maggie be pleased?
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, whoo!
(Nah, nah, nah)

What's you fighting for?
(What not upto fighting for?)
S'cusi dove il bar
{What?}
(Got to get on)
Se para collo pou eine toe bar
(We got to get on)
S'il vous plait ou est le bar
(Got to get on, got to get on)
{Say it in English finally!}
Oi, where's the fucking bar John?
(Oh, now you're talking!)
(Got to take it on)
{Rule Britannia! Britannia rules the day}
(Got to get on, got to get on)
Down!
(Knock, knock, knock, we've got to get on)
Go, Maggie!
(Got to get on, got to get on)
Hammer, hammer, hammer, hammer
(Not Now John, we've got to get on)
(Got to get on, got to get on)
(Not Now John, we've got to get on)
